March 2006 OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aim of the Opotiki Historic Heritage Study is to gather information about the development of Opotiki, and to use this information to look at the ongoing management of heritage resources from a base of understanding and knowledge. It is important to recognise that there can be a shift in what we value over time, particularly as information and knowledge of a place is extended. Places we value now may not always have been recognised or valued as highly. The Study has confirmed that the Opotiki town centre contains a built heritage resource of regional and national significance. Research, inspections and analysis undertaken as part of the study provide comprehensive information about heritage resources in Opotiki. The Opotiki Historic Heritage Study includes an historic overview of Opotiki which summarises key themes in the historic development of the centre. This research has been used to analyse built and archaeological heritage resources in Opotiki town centre and to review the approach to management of these resources, as a knowledgeable starting point for this debate. Potential options to enhance the management of heritage resources in Opotiki have been proposed. The social history of Opotiki can be divided into two widely different phases focussed on the year 1865: life for Opotiki’s residents was vastly different before and after this date. Several hundred years of occupation by tangata whenua Whakatohea leading a traditional Maori lifestyle had been slowly influenced over the first few decades of the 19th Century by the introduction of European religion, material goods, livestock, crops, agricultural techniques and equipment, faster boats and wider trading networks, as well as alcohol and previously unknown diseases. Initial Maori-Pakeha contacts in the settlement of Pakowhai were indirect and sparse; by the 1840s this had changed to more sustained, longer-term contacts with a few Pakeha living near to or amongst Whakatohea at Opotiki. In 1865 a major clash of cultures ended in Whakatohea’s land being confiscated. Opotiki was surveyed and became a European-style township with a predominantly European population, under the Auckland Province and adhering to New Zealand laws and customs. Whakatohea and other Maori gradually moved back into Opotiki and today have a strong influence in local government and administration. Opotiki’s first years as a European settlement were as part of the military frontier of the colonial government. Opotiki provided a base for troop movements, with newly-built wharves allowing relatively easy sea access for people and supplies. The town’s growth depended strongly on its coastal location, especially as agricultural development in the surrounding districts resulted in large quantities of maize, wheat, dairy products, wool and other produce requiring export. The port facilities grew, and Opotiki became a service centre for the rural communities, not just providing commercial services but social, recreational and religious activities as well. Government agencies and local bodies had their bases in Opotiki as the largest town in the district. Opotiki’s boom time was the last decades of the 19th Century through to the 1930s. In 1921 Opotiki was much bigger than Te Puke, Whakatane or Taupo, but improvements in road and rail transport and the silting up of the harbour meant that sea freight became more difficult and less economic. The result was a slowing of growth, now counteracted with new i OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY enterprises, the establishment of small industries, fruit growing and the attractions of the eastern Bay of Plenty as a retirement haven. The history of Opotiki is evidenced in physical and material remains represented by archaeological sites, historic buildings and other structures. Studying the architecture of the town’s buildings reveals evidence of different phases of its history. The history is known also through people’s memories, through traditions, through stories passed on within whanau and hapu, clubs and church groups, and through the records of local individuals, councils, businesses and organisations. The town centre is one of the best surviving examples of a town centre from the late 19th Century early 20th Century in the upper North Island, retaining a broad range of building types. In addition to the historic commercial core in Church Street it retains many of its early churches and church halls including St Stephen’s in Church St; St John’s church in St John St, the Presbyterian church in Ford Street; the Salvation Army Barracks in King Street, the Maori Mission Hall (former Temperance Union hall) in Elliott Street and the Methodist Church in the southern area of town, built in 1911 from bricks made at the Opotiki brick kiln. These buildings provide further evidence of the size and consolidation of the community in the decades around the turn of the 20th Century. The longevity of the Roman Catholic parish is represented by the old schoolrooms on Grey Street. The commercial centre contains some of its earliest timber shops such as Shalfoon Bros, hotels including the Opotiki Hotel , Masonic Hotel and former Royal Hotel, together with a number of early commercial, theatre, retail and industrial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. During the phase of rapid expansion, many of the simple buildings were replaced with substantial structures built of permanent materials. The intact survival of a broad range of building types gives Opotiki a unique heritage character. Archaeological sites exist within the town centre and its environs; however there are no recorded sites in Opotiki. Many sites will have been damaged by later developments if those later developments involved radical earthworks. Many sites will be sealed in by paving or tar seal and floors of buildings. But in many cases some evidence of the previous use of the site will be retrievable through methodical archaeological mapping, excavation and analysis. A review of potential archaeological resources has been carried out as part of the study. Recent nationwide surveys by heritage organisations in England reflect similar feelings in many New Zealand towns and cities: that communities really value their distinctive, local, ordinary places and the overall context and character created by the relationship of people to a particular place over time. Scheduling and heritage inventories by contrast have tended to focus on the extra-ordinary, the best examples, and most significant individual places. As a result of the study options for statutory and non-statutory methods to enhance the ongoing management of the collective values of heritage resources and future development in Opotiki are put forward. The research undertaken provides an amazing resource for Opotiki that will help in understanding what is there, what is special about it, and hopefully promoting that to the community, new investors and tourists. The information collated can be readily utilised to develop heritage walks and to provide interpretive information about Opotiki to enhance understanding for visitors. The study will also assist Opotiki District Council in the process of identification of buildings prone to earthquake damage and developing a strategy to mitigate potential risk. Research and inspections undertaken provide the base data that will assist with ongoing structural assessments. The Opotiki Historic Heritage Study report is in two parts. Part One includes the thematic historic overview, a summary of cultural heritage values associated with the town centre as a ii OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY whole and a review of management of heritage resources. Options for enhancing heritage management through statutory and non-statutory methods are proposed. Part Two contains an inventory of heritage places within the town centre study area. This is supported by record forms for twenty seven places which have been researched in detail, as part of this Study and by the Trust. Partial record forms have been prepared for a large number of additional places to collate base information that was gathered during the study. Further research for some of these places is suggested where the study has shown that they warrant further investigation and possible protection. Appendices contain supporting information including a more detailed review of Regional Policy Statement and District Plan sections related to the management and protection of heritage. New Zealand Archaeological Association Site Record Forms prepared for three archaeological sites/ archaeological landscapes in Opotiki are included in the appendices. iii OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY - PART ONE TABLE OF CONTENTS OPOTIKI TOWN CENTRE HISTORIC HERITAGE STUDY - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ................................................................................................................i

This report covers the period July 2001 to December 2004. An activity involving the disturbance of the bed of a river is controlled by section 13 of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and therefore requires consent. However, gravel extraction is normally undertaken away from waters edge so as to avoid any sediment contamination of the watercourse. In the Bay of Plenty region, the areas of high gravel concentrations are in the eastern Bay of Plenty rivers. In fact all of the resource consents for gravel extraction are for rivers located within the eastern Bay of Plenty. Individuals and companies who require large volumes of gravel for construction works and building foundations hold resource consents for such activities. Environment Bay of Plenty’s Operations and Rural Services Department also hold resource consents which enable them to remove gravel to prevent erosion and the exacerbation of flooding caused by build-up of the riverbed.

Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

Ko te kotahitanga te waka e kawe nei te oranga mō ngā whānau, mō ngā hapū, mō ngā iwi. Poipoia te rangatahi, ka puta, ka ora. The name ‘Tuia’ is derived from a tauparapara (Māori proverbial saying) that is hundreds of years old. This saying recognises and explains the potential that lies within meaningful connections to: the past, present and future; to self; and to people, place and environment. The word ‘Tuia’ means to weave and when people are woven together well, their collective contribution has a greater positive impact on community. We as a rangatahi (youth) leadership programme look to embody this by connecting young Māori from across Aotearoa/New Zealand - connecting passions, aspirations and dreams of rangatahi to serve our communities well. 1 Tuia Overview Tuia is an intentional, long-term, intergenerational approach to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Māori contribute to communities throughout New Zealand. We look to build a network for rangatahi to help support them in their contribution to their communities.

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • Indigenous Bodies: Ordinary Lives
    CHAPTER 8 Indigenous Bodies: Ordinary Lives Brendan Hokowhitu Ōpōtiki Red with cold Māori boy feet speckled with blades of colonial green Glued with dew West water wept down from Raukūmara mountains Wafed up east from the Pacifc Anxiety, ambiguity, madness1 mbivalence is the overwhelming feeling that haunts my relationship with physicality. Not only my body, but the bodies of an imagined multitude of AIndigenous peoples dissected and made whole again via the violent synthesis of the colonial project. Like my own ambivalence (and by “ambivalence” I refer to simultaneous abhorrence and desire), the relationship between Indigenous peoples and physicality faces the anxiety of representation felt within Indigenous studies in general. Tis introduction to the possibilities of a critical pedagogy is one of biopolitical transformation, from the innocence of jumping for joy, to the moment I become aware of my body, the moment of self-consciousness in the archive, in knowing Indigenous bodies written upon and etched by colonization, and out the other side towards radical Indigenous scholarship. Tis is, however, not a narrative of modernity, of transformation, of transcendence of the mind through the body. I didn’t know it then, but this transformation was a genealogical method un- folding through the production of corporeality: part whakapapa (genealogy), part comprehension of the biopolitics that placate and make rebellious the Indigenous 164 Indigenous Bodies: Ordinary Lives body. Plato’s cave, Descartes’ blueprint, racism, imperial discourse, colonization, liberation, the naturalness of “physicality” and “indigeneity.” Tis madness only makes sense via the centrality of Indigenous physicality. Physicality is that terminal hub, the dense transfer point where competing, contrasting, synthesizing, and dissident concepts hover to make possible the various ways that the Indigenous body materializes through and because of colonization.

  • The Case of Kapiti Coast District Council
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Getting an outdoor smokefree policy: the case of Kapiti Coast District Council Leigh Halkett, George Thomson Abstract Aim To explore how a smokefree parks policy was conceived, accepted and developed by and for Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC). Method Thirteen people involved in the smokefree parks policy process for KCDC were interviewed in person during November–December 2008. Supporting documentation and websites were accessed and reviewed. Results In September 2008 the KCDC agreed to adopt a smokefree parks and playground policy, following an initiative from a smokefree coalition of several public health organisations. The policy was developed collaboratively by this coalition with input from the council, and was supported by key local organisations. The KCDC appears to have adopted a smokefree outdoor areas (SFOA) policy because of demonstrated public support, the relative simplicity and low cost of the policy, the success of similar policies elsewhere, and because of the alignment with desired community outcomes. The challenges included finding funding and allocating staff time for this project. There were also concerns with how the policy would be enforced. Conclusions A collaborative approach amongst health and community groups for achieving SFOA policies works well. The experience with council SFOA policies has considerable impact on the adoption of similar policies by other councils. To maximise this influence, information about the policies needs to be spread nationally by the health and local government sectors. Legislative efforts to reduce smoking and the exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) in New Zealand have included the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 (SEA) and the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Act 2003 (SEAA).
